Don,
        The Deadlink program takes quite a while to run. If you have a
very long list Deadlink may appear to hang. Look at the bottom of the
program for the number of bookmarks checked and the number of
connections. When the number of connections goes from 20 to 1 there is
still a period where bookmarks are being checked. I had 220 links and
it took a few minutes to check them all.
    Try selecting 10 bookmarks near the end of the list and run the
check on those just to be sure they are not causing the problem.
